Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The 1999-2000 season of the Brussels Théâtre de Poche was marked by its significant production of Canadian dramatist George F. Walker’s “Problem Child”. Although Brussels is generally regarded as a major theatrical platform in Europe, this production constituted Walker’s first performance ever in Brussels, in a French-language translation. French Canadian plays are not unknown to the Belgian theatre going public - witness the repeated success of Tremblay’s dramas over the years in various Brussels venues. However, the entire English Canadian repertoire remains virtually unknown in this European capital. For this reason, the premiere of Walker’s “Problem Child” by the Théâtre de Poche will remain a landmark event in Belgian theatre circles: to my knowledge, it represented the first English Canadian play to be produced in Belgium.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
